But his batting stance makes me want to punch him in the face. Every time.

Yup. It's easy to say it's just one year. But Reynolds was cheaper and the difference would have brought our catcher back. I prefer Martin & Reynolds to Youk. Or Chavez and Martin to Youk. Just feels like a lot of money for a guy who is declining and can't stay healthy.

And the "slap a big name on the problem" business model continues...

but seriously, the Martin thing still baffles me. Can't help but to think that was just a goof by the FO...

It's what it feels like. As incredible as he was in his prime, he seems to be in decline. And Ichiro feels like the same thing. We could have gotten similar production out of some dirt cheap options and maybe brought our catcher back, but I guess the appeal of the former all star trumps current production.

I actually like the idea of Ichiro, yeah he's lost a step or two but man is that guy a professional hitter.

But I will root for him obviously. And it is KILLING my MAfrirnds where I grew up. The ultimate kick in the nuts. Can Varitek still catch?

Youk will excel on the big stage for sure. He's playing for another multi year contract and will have an excellent year. Arod won't play the field much so Youk will get his 500 ABs and have a monster year. .300 / 25 / 90 with a .400 OBP in our lineup. He will see lots of fastballs and get lots of walks if he gets hot.
